Spero's Special - Tony Press - 09-07-2024
A nice tribute to this pre war Austin 7 special
Spero's streamlined special: a look at the lost White Bird Austin - PreWarCar

As with lots of things on PWC it's not very well researched or written.
Would love to see someone do a recreation of it though.

Not the most handsome of A7s. It would look better if the front was at the back. Nice to see a re creation though!

Bit harsh.
Perhaps someone should write a better story ?

Hi All
It would make a good article in the Grey Mag if anyone can rise to the bait?
Particularly as contributions for 2024D (copy deadline 27th August) are currently a bit thin.
Cheers
Howard

Possibly, but there are a fair few articles that I have commented on correcting some basic facts.
Sadly I don't have the time to write a better story at the moment, but still maintaining my website.

I rather like the somewhat basic line of that machine but wonder how it would fare in a wind tunnel...

Agree Duncan, they still had a fair bit to learn about aerodynamic drag back then.
Love the body though - I can only guess it must have had a very loud exhaust to carry off that 'LSR' look.
